SYCAMORE – Kaneland boys golfer Luke Kreiter had mixed feelings last season after his team finished in sixth place at the IHSA Class 2A Burlington Central Regional.

Kreiter wanted to feel excited for teammate Matt Yonkovich, who qualified for the sectional meet individually, but he couldn’t stifle his disappointment that his team missed out on qualifying by 16 shots. His team was just too uncomfortable playing on a big stage.

“It was split emotions because you knew your season was over but you’re obviously happy that your teammate made it,” Kreiter, a senior said. “We just caught a bad draw and we came in a little nervous. … We pushed too hard and we ended up coming up just short.”
